Just to clarify my anti-Gundy stance,,,
It has nothing at all to do with his coaching.
I'm not really much of a sports fan anyways,,,
And couldn't tell you his record if asked.
It has to do with the fact that every time I've had any dealings with him,,,
He's proven himself to be an arrogant, narcissistic, arse-hole.
He used to do a live broadcast from Joseppi's Italian eatery in Stillwater,,,
His crew set up at a table in a corner of the bar area.
I was there one evening when he was broadcasting,,,
There was a 6-7 year old girl wearing an OSU cheerleader outfit,,,
She was waiting there with a game program in hopes of getting an autograph.
Her grandfather was there with her assisting her in her wait,,,
She was very excited as could be seen in her demeanor,,,
But she had waited very politely for many minutes.
When Gundy got up to leave the table her grandfather nudged her forward,,,
Gundy didn't actually stiff-arm the girl but he did put his arm out,,,
Then quickly side-stepped her and headed for the door.
I was astounded by his action,,,
She had been waiting there for at least 10 minutes,,,
There's no way in creation that Gundy couldn't have noticed her.
But rather than take a moment to sign a young fan's program,,,
He just left her standing there as he hurried out the door.
My friend was getting up to chase him down but the grandfather beat her to it,,,
Which was probably a good thing as my friend was a 225 lb. woman,,,
With a bad temper and no social inhibitions whatsoever.
The old man was right behind Gundy and caught him in the parking lot,,,
There was lots of shouting and hand waving but no fight.
My money was on the old man who was physically quite large,,,
Gundy did finally deign to sign the program,,,
Then the old man did something amazing.
He wadded it up and threw it back in Gundy's face.
When he came back into the restaurant,,,
He was greeted with loud clapping.
That is just one of the three times I personally witnessed him being an entitled jerk.
